New Type of Scrolling

Have you ever played a scrolling game that took FOREVER to load, and then when you started playing the game was very slow or laggy? Well I have played many of these games, often times they are needed to download to run at a suitable performance. I have often wanted to create one,  but they take many hours of tedious drawing to create good backgrounds. I have come up with an alternative, it takes very little time to customize for yourself and has an infinate amount of space to scroll on. It has no loops or repeating terrain ever(well, its a very very small chance like 1 in about 140,000,000 times), and it is very easy to add story line to. It may not give the difficulty of some of the scrollers that make them more played, but they can be programmed with ease to have obsticles appear. You probably are bored of me talking so here is the link to the next generation of scrolling(I hope).

I hope you enjoy!

P.S. It has 48 variables to store the data

P.S.S. I managed to only have to use 3 scripts!(one is very very long though)

Re: New Type of Scrolling

I suggest you look at the WHOLE post and see that it saves the positions of 23 different points, not just a new terrain everytime...
